CR healed autoimmune illness?

[Judy Reneau]

Lately I have been reading about calorie restriction releasing something to help immunity. The articles are sketchy but make me think about something that happened about 18 years ago.

I had RA and Duputren’s Contracture develop around the same time. The RA lasted a year and was gone. Mr doctor said it was in remission. The Duputren’s started making my fingers curl and then stopped. I still have dents on my hand where the cords had been contracting. At that time I was well into doing CR correctly. It’s just recently that I’m thinking the CR might have done the cure. 

Might this have been possible?

Here are a couple of related articles I have come across:
